Personalized Clear Acrylic Wedding Clutches

Share this project

I’m a huge Amazon fan and I’m on the site almost every day. It shows me recommended items I might like and when I saw these gorgeous clear acrylic clutches, I was thrilled to add them to my cart because I knew you gals would love to personalize them! I’m sharing three personalization ideas, all using vinyl and your Cricut Explore or Cricut Maker. The clutches are only $18 and let me tell you, they are far nicer than I had expected. They’d obviously be perfect for the bride and at that price a terrific gift for the rest of your bridal party as well!

Something Blue

I’m just obsessing over how these turned out. They are so freaking cute! The Mrs. Kidder is definitely my favorite, it’s the perfect, subtle something blue! …yes, yes, or something turquoise! I really thought about using turquoise vinyl but there is something so sweet about this pale blue glitter!

Create In Design Space

The first step is to login to Design Space and start designing your clutch! Upload our exclusive Cricut cut files by using the “upload” button on the left tool bar. Locate the file on your computer and select to add it to your canvas. Then drag, resize, and add personal touches like maybe your new last name or the date of your wedding. Prepare your mat and get ready to cut!

  • The bride design I used as is.
  • The Mrs. design I added a last name to using the font Bebas.
  • The wifey file I sliced from a rectangle the same size as the clutch. Never used slice in Design Space before? It’s so good! Add a rectangle to your cutting mat, place the wifey file on top, select both and hit slice. Then click to remove the pieces of the slice you don’t need. You’re literally slicing the word out of the shape!

Let Your Cricut Work It’s Magic

Weed The Designs

Weed, (aka. remove) all the excess iron-on material that isn’t a part of your design. Using the Cricut weeding tools makes the removal of intricate pieces super easy.

Transfer Tape

Transfer tape is the BEST and if you’ve never used it, you must try it. Basically you transfer your new vinyl stickers from their base to a clear film so you can properly position them on their final resting place. Cut a piece of transfer tape just larger than your designs, peel and evenly smooth on top of the vinyl.

Apply To The Clutch

Now carefully peel the transfer tape and your new Bride sticker from the vinyl backing and then carefully place onto the clutch. Burnish a little with the scraping tool and carefully peel the transfer tape off, leaving a perfectly personalized clutch to hold your most important things on your wedding day!
